It's usually a good idea, when you're running for office in a particular state, to show that state's geography in the background of campaign commercials and not try to pass off mountain ranges in other states as your own:
In an event that is already being dubbed his “Mt. Macaca moment,” Bob Schaffer launched his first TV commercial of the 2008 campaign yesterday, claiming in it that “Colorado is my life.” Odd, then, that Schaffer’s commercial highlights a mountain…in Alaska. (Or at least it did before Schaffer’s campaign manager told the Denver Post that “the ad would be pulled and re-edited with Colorado mountains.”)
How did he possibly think nobody would notice?
In response, the DSCC has put together a geography quiz for Schaffer. My advice would be to quit while behind.

I wish I had an intelligent comment. But I do find this funny. Conyers who I like (it’s just that he can’t do diddly to enforce subpoenas) has said this today:
Conyers on Rove: “Someone’s Got to Kick His Ass”
It will be interesting to see how this Rove ass kicking takes place.
Dummy. If Colorado is “his life,” what does he mean by that? Apart from not being able to identify geographical landmarks, of course.
[Insert here Warren Zevon singing, “Things to Do in Denver When You’re Dead.”]
Pete, any of us firepups would gladly volunteer to kick the wide, accommodating keister of Karl.
These dumb bunnies should run for Miss America, not for an elected office. Jeez!
